Islam Needs to Earn a Place in the Civilized World

As a civilized man, I am committed to treating everyone with respect and kindness. That goes for homeless people, people whose skin is a different color from mine, people who speak a different language or believe in a different religion -  or who don’t believe in any god at all.

However, just because I treat you with respect and kindness does not mean I will let you take over – and we’re not falling for the ruse that anyone who says anything critical is “hateful” “bigoted” or “phobic”. If your religion is valuable and true, it should be able to withstand criticism.

In civilized societies, you don’t get to threaten or kill people who mock you.

Earn respect. Acceptance into society is contingent on civilized behavior. America is a melting pot, but you’re not welcome if you are unwilling to melt. What does that mean? It means, if you teach your followers to “not make friends” with kafir, with unbelievers, if you indoctrinate your followers with a mindset that keeps them from integrating with our society, we don’t want you here.

That’s up to you, not us.

Build your caliphate somewhere else. We will not be a part of your umma. We’re not asking you to surrender your culture. The Irish came, and became Americans, the Polish came and became Americans, even Africans who were unjustly dragged here as slaves became Americans.

Until you are willing to repudiate the parts of the Koran that advocate bigotry and hatred, that encourage violence, that call for followers to not integrate, not assimilate, then maybe America is not the place for you. Find a Muslim nation. You’ll fit in well there.

Everyone is welcome – but we expect you to behave yourself and get along.

The problem is, Islam does not want to get along. It has a clearly stated goal to take over, and it has a long, bloody history of taking over by force, killing and subjugating people.

In the past Islam has inflicted violent invasions on large areas of the planet. But violent invasions are not Islam’s only strategy. Another strategy is to quietly flood a nation, and then out-breed them until the population of Muslims is large enough to start taking over.

The pattern, if anyone takes the time to look carefully at recent history, is to send immigrants, having them get along, stay under the radar, as a temporary measure while they quietly build up enough numbers to gain the political and financial power they need to take over and make everyone live by their rules.

We need to not let that happen in the US. If we do, we are fools who probably deserve the subjugation we allowed.

It may already be too late. There may already be that critical mass of numbers present in our society. Juan Williams was fired from NPR because of the influence and leverage of CAIR. Already, Muslim politicians are being voted into office (no, I’m not talking about Obama). Soon companies will start changing their policies, bowing to pressure from Muslim consumers.

This is the danger of unrestrained immigration: there is massive power in massive numbers, even if hundreds of thousands of Muslims are “peaceful” their first loyalty is to Islam. They do not feel themselves bound to any pledge of allegiance to the US, their allegiance is to Allah, and when the call comes from their imams to riot in the streets for Allah, they will riot in the streets.

Does that mean we slam the doors on immigration from Muslim nations? Maybe it does. Being open does not mean being open to everything.

Still, we are an open society. For now.

You are welcome to enter the marketplace of ideas, talk about your religion, your God, but you are not allowed to bring your scimitar and start chopping off the heads of anyone who disagrees with you, and you are not allowed to teach others that this is OK. If your holy book teaches that, if your prophet teaches that, don’t expect us to accept or allow it.

Protecting the Rights and Freedom of Your Citizens is not “Hate”

Somehow the idea is being promoted that to be an open society we have to accept everything. Not everything is acceptable. There are values and standards that we not only are free to reject, but must reject in order to protect weaker, vulnerable people.

If you are having a party it’s OK to not invite the bullies and rowdies.

It’s your party.

This does not mean we treat anyone badly. It does not mean we hate anyone.

Civilized people don’t hate other people. There are things that they do hate, though: they hate injustice, they hate oppression, they hate lying. There is nothing inherently wrong or bad about “hate” – it all depends on what you hate.

Hate behavior, not people.

Hate violent, unjust actions. Hate lying. Hate oppression. Hate deceit.

I hated the fact that someone broke the window of my car and tried to steal it. It made me angry. I hate theft. But I prayed for the person who did it. I asked God to bless them, to help them. You can hate an action and not hate the person.

And really, that is not a God thing, because I have kind, reasonable, rational atheist friends who, although they’d be angry about someone trying to steal their car, would make an effort to understand where that person was coming from, and would not think of violent retribution.

Doesn’t mean they’d be OK with it, but they would respond in a civilized way.

Ironically, even those who accuse anyone who criticizes Islam as being “hateful” or “bigoted” are expressing hate in their very words: they hate the thought of someone being unfair or hateful! They hate criticism.

Being an “open society” does not mean we have to accept or tolerate violent, bigoted ideologies

Open Society does not Equal Doormat

We Americans are so used to living in an open society that we forget or simply do not realize how fragile it is. Being an open society is not the default state of a culture. The natural trend is for stronger ideologies and forces to overwhelm and displace weaker ones.

If we value the freedom of an open society, where everyone is free to hold their own beliefs, we cannot allow the expansion of people who are convinced they are justified in imposing their values and standards on everyone. That mindset must be resisted whether it’s fundamental Christians, radical Muslims or narrow-minded Atheists.

Tolerating Intolerance puts Freedom at Risk

If you tolerate an aggressive, intolerant ideology it will eventually take over and individuals will lose their freedoms.

So, to preserve an open society there are times when leaders and citizens must say, “No, we will not allow that” and firmly reject toxic forces.

We do not allow individuals to infringe upon the human rights of others, how much more should we be vigilant to prevent an entire ideology and set of cultural standards from infringing on people’s rights?

This is especially important when a group or ideology has a track record of violent oppression and forceful subjugation. Not to mention a long history of invading and imposing their system on others.

All religions are not equal

If a religion encourages and teaches people to love others, act with kindness, stand for justice, hold tight to what is true and respect others, then that is a good religion.

If a religion encourages and teaches people to hate others, to act in ways that oppress people, to lash out with violence, to be intolerant of other beliefs, to show arrogance and disrespect towards others, if it teaches its followers that lying and deceit and violence are not only permitted but encouraged if they promote the religion, then that is not a good religion.

You be the judge.

Pakistani cleric puts bounty on Christian woman for “insulting Islam”

Asia Bibi has been sentenced to death 'for blasphemy'

“A hardline, pro-Taliban Pakistani Muslim cleric on Friday offered a reward for anyone who kills a Christian woman sentenced to death by a court on charges of insulting Islam.

Maulana Yousef Qureshi, the imam of a major mosque in the northwestern city of Peshawar, offered a £3,700 reward and warned the government against any move to abolish or change the blasphemy law.

“We will strongly resist any attempt to repeal laws which provide protection to the sanctity of Holy Prophet Mohammad,” Qureshi told a rally of hardline Islamists.”Any one who kills Asia will be given 500,000 rupees in reward from Masjid Mohabat Khan,” he said referring to his mosque.”

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/8179655/Pakistani-cleric-puts-bounty-on-Christian-womans-head.html

Don’t try to tell me this is an aberration, a quirk: this man is an imam, not an isolated, “troubled” follower. He is a leader. If the leaders of a religion are not only encouraging their followers to kill someone but actually paying them to do it – tell me, do we want that religion in our nation? Do we want more and more mosques built where imams can spread this toxic, violent religion?

Insulting Islam! This imam puts religion to shame, any insult could not bring more shame on Islam than one of its leaders offering a reward for someone to be killed for daring to criticize the religion.

This kind of “religion” is an insult to humanity. All religions are not the same, freedom of religion does not mean we have any obligation to allow or support this kind of  “religion”.

Americans: do you think this kind of thing could never happen in the US? Not yet. Wait a few years until the Muslim population explodes as Americans keep having their 1.5 children families and the influx of Muslim “immigrants” continues to grow.

Geert Wilders: “Islam does not want to integrate but to dominate.”

Why a ban on immigration from Muslim countries?

“Because the more the Islamic ideology, which doesn’t want to assimilate or integrate but wants to subjugate and dominate a society, the more they come, the stronger it becomes and the less freedom we will have and the less pleasant our countries will become.”

-Geert Wilders

Open Your Eyes, Sweden

“Sweden, as with many other western countries, is not a society which is tight-knit by a ‘state religion’ or other strong cultural bonds.
This makes them vulnerable, easy prey for guests who shout louder than their hosts and eventually will get their way.
Perhaps Muslims will not get everything, but Halal food is already a fact of life in Sweden and it looks like Sharia Law will push its way to the top.”
-vweltz

“No one did anything to stop the brownshirts in the 1930s in Europe either. This is history repeating itself.
The difference is that this time the fascists are not home grown.
They didn’t storm in with weapons.
They were welcomed in and subsidized.
Europe financed it’s own invasion.”
-ThatDifferentDude

“It is high time to stop making the fatal mistake of assuming one religion is the same as others. Religions are not the same: some are peaceful and some less peaceful – and then there is Islam that is nothing but pure evil.”

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia: suggests subcutaneous chips to track Guantanamo Bay detainees

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia told a senior White House official to consider surgically implanting homing devices under Guantanamo Bay detainees’ skin. That’s one of the many potentially embarrassing comments from diplomatic back rooms now being made public by WikiLeaks.

During a March 2009 meeting with John Brennan, President Obama’s closest counterterrorism adviser, Abdullah proposed shooting electronic chips into the residual Guantanamo population, “allowing their movements to be tracked with Bluetooth.” Abdullah appears to have come up with the idea on the fly during their meeting — “I’ve just thought of something,” the cable quotes him saying — and considered forced subcutaneous chip implantation uncontroversial, since it’s already “done with horses and falcons.”

Leak: Iran used the “charitable” Red Crescent as cover to smuggle weapons

“Wikileaks document shows Iranian Revolutionary Guards helped Hizbullah in 2006 Lebanon War, disguised as Red Crescent officials.

Iran used the cover of the Iranian Red Crescent to smuggle intelligence agents and missiles into Lebanon during the Second Lebanon War, according to a leaked US Embassy cable published on Sunday by WikiLeaks.”

OK, folks, say it with me, one more time: taqiyya. If you are not a Muslim, do not expect a Muslim to tell you the truth. You are a kafir, an unbeliever. Whenever it is expedient, whenever it is to their advantage, a Muslim will have no compunction about lying to you, or deceiving you if they can justify it as advancing Islam.

Understand this: their prophet said, “War is deceit”. Radical Muslims follow their prophet to the point of killing. Even if you are not at war with them, they are at war with you and they will deceive you any chance they get – and despise you for being so stupid.

This is why we can’t figure out if Pakistan is an ally or stabbing us in the back. We are kafir, they are Muslim, they will take our money, jockey for position, but their loyalty is not to us.
